Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

I think this verification of industry standards is the positive side of Amir...You are right...But i dont think that better measurements alone is enough to reach very good audiophile optimal  listening experience ...

But people are short sightened by their ideology be it technology or any other one, and objectivist as subjectivist are deluding themselves when they isolate from one another ...People love to hate someone or something... Thats explain much of everything on the actual earth situation if we add the power greed for control by some... ...

In audio if we come back to the subject matter, they all forget acoustic as the main powerful factor...Astounding when we know that audiophile experience is only EXPLAINED at the end by psycho-acoustic...Even change in electronic design are ultimately guided by acoustic results...

I’d say so. Don’ follow Amir and ASR very close but my system belongs to ASR’s absolute favorites and gives me a listening quality few will ever experience. Most I think he should get some thanks for fighting the industry. A little more Amir in you would do you all good!

When I first started reading this thread, I was thinking about writing virtually the same post. I think ASR is doing a significant disservice to our hobby by convincing many new to the hobby that measurements are all that matters. 
 

i think measurements are a helpful tool for development and an invaluable tool for manufacturing (ensuring unit to unit consistency), but the simplistic measurements done by Amir are all but worthless for determining what products will work well in my own system. 
 

To be honest, I have not visited the site in the last year or so since I did not want to do anything that might improve their visibility to new prospective audiophiles.

To answer the OP question: a resounding NO. But that’s just me.

What you guys don’t realize (or perhaps you do 😉), this thread does one thing: more (free) advertising for Amir. And that’s exactly what prominent YouTubers want, free publicity. As they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity 

Having recently spent a considerable sum ($35k) to put a nice system together, I had the itch to spend a few thousand on a power conditioner, until I watched a few of Amir's videos on YouTube. Right or wrong, I never pulled the trigger and have stayed with my $99 Audioquest power strip. My power amp and sub are connected straight into the wall. The noise floor has been quiet from day 1, so I convinced myself that I didn't have a problem to solve. Who knows what the future holds?

How about posting your system components as your virtual system?
